🌊 Changdao boasts many stunning natural landscapes, but if I had to pick one must-visit spot, it would undoubtedly be Fengshan Forest and Sea. At the summit of Fengshan Mountain, gaze into the ethereal beauty of the Fairy Mountain Islands; stroll along the coastal boardwalk to get up close with the vividly layered, colorful bays; stand at the Yellow-Bohai Sea Boundary Monument to witness the clearest and most distinct dividing line between the two seas; and at Changshan Tail, capture epic aerial photography. ✨ Must-See Highlights: 1️⃣ **Boundary Monument** — The Clearest and Most Visible Yellow-Bohai Sea Boundary Line My 20-year quest to see the Yellow-Bohai Sea boundary has finally been fulfilled! Over the years, I’ve visited both ends of the boundary—Penglai twice, Changdao once, and Lüshun twice—but each time, cloudy or foggy weather obscured the view. This time was different: Changdao’s boundary line is the clearest and most visible, and the weather was perfect (albeit sunny, with impeccable visibility). From the monument, you can see Changshan Tail extending into the sea, forming a long "S"-shaped waterline that divides the ocean into two halves: the Yellow Sea on the left and the Bohai Sea on the right. After two decades, I’ve finally conquered this elusive sight! 2️⃣ **Changshan Tail** — A Tiny Tail Stretching into the Sea from a God’s-Eye View Whether naturally formed or man-made, Changshan Tail is awe-inspiring. But to truly appreciate its grandeur, you need an aerial perspective. With a drone, you can capture the same breathtaking view as seen in *Aerial China*—it really does look like a tiny tail reaching into the ocean, leaving you in awe. 3️⃣ **Fengshan Summit** — Overlooking the Mystical Fairy Mountain Islands At 148.8 meters above sea level, Fengshan Mountain is the highest point on South Changshan Island, crowned with a majestic eagle sculpture ready to take flight. From here, you can take in panoramic views of the former Changdao County—colonial houses, fishing villages, ports, and towers—all clearly visible. Further out, the other islands of the Miaodao Archipelago appear hazy and dreamlike, truly living up to their name, "Fairy Mountain Islands." 4️⃣ **Coastal Boardwalk** — A Multicolored Bay Beneath Sea Cliffs The coastal boardwalk runs alongside sea cliffs, where the water is even clearer than at the harbor—crystal-clear in some spots, with layered hues. The shoreline features white pebble beaches, while the nearshore waters are transparent like glass. Further out, sargassum divides the deep blue sea. Though the Miaodao Archipelago is known as a habitat for spotted seals, I didn’t spot any wild ones—but I did "capture" a rock that looked just like a seal! 📍 Tips: 1️⃣ The Fengshan Forest and Sea scenic area is vast, with attractions spread out. Highly recommend buying a sightseeing shuttle ticket. - Enter via the southwest gate and take a 2.7 km shuttle ride to Fengshan Mountain (a hilly route with a 45° steep slope where passengers must disembark and walk uphill before transferring to another shuttle). - Route: - Shuttle: Southwest Gate → Fengshan Mountain → Yellow-Bohai Boundary Monument - Walk: Boundary Monument → Coastal Boardwalk → Changshan Tail - Shuttle: Changshan Tail → Southwest Gate 2️⃣ Changshan Tail is best experienced via drone—otherwise, the effect is lost. If you don’t have one, drones are available for rent onsite (inquire about pricing). 📌 Address: South Changshan Island, Penglai District, Yantai City 🎫 Ticket Info: - Full-line ticket: ¥139/person (valid for 3 days, allowing multiple entries) - Island ferry ticket: ¥45/person - Sightseeing shuttle: ¥40/person ⏰ Opening Hours: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM (last entry at 3:30 PM) 👍 Recommended Visit Duration: 3–4 hours 🚗 Transportation: Take a taxi or rent an electric scooter.

【Schedule】 9:10-10:00 Penglai Changdao Purchase ferry tickets in advance on the WeChat public account 'Changdao Ferry Tickets' (a one-way trip costs 45 yuan, and it's okay to buy tickets one day in advance). Arrive at Penglai Port 15 minutes early, where you can enter the station directly with your ID card. Once on board, find a seat at your leisure, or head to the deck to watch the sea and seagulls (prepare some sausages in advance to feed the seagulls!) 10:30 Arrive at the Fengshan Forest Sea ticket office We bought a full-line ticket at half price for students (75 yuan per person for all attractions on Changdao, remember to bring your student ID, or show the ticket seller your registration on the 'Xuexin' educational network), and then we started hiking. Here you can find the boundary line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, which is super photogenic, and there are lots of seagulls. It's recommended to spend two hours here. Have lunch and take a nap at noon. 14:00 Arrive at Wangfu Reef, play for an hour until Yuyue Bay. Most of the time is spent sitting by the sea, enjoying the breeze, listening to the waves, basking in the sun, and chatting. 16:00 Head to Jiuzhang Cliff to watch the sunset, which is incredibly beautiful, and there are fishing boats passing by that make for great photo opportunities. Notes: 1. Check the weather forecast in advance before planning your trip! Always choose a good day for sea viewing! 2. You can bring your own dry food (bread, sausages + water, etc.) to the island, as food on the island is a bit expensive and not very tasty . The wind is strong by the sea, so bring a coat to avoid catching a cold. Sunglasses and power banks are a must! Finally, when you're out and about, pay attention to safety!
